Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus. Avoid inhaling combustion gases
Special Procedures: Move containers away from fire area if safe to do so. Cool containers with water if exposed to fire.
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, wear protective clothing including gloves and eye protection, ensure good ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent uncontrolled release into waterways or soil
Cleanup Methods: Sweep or vacuum up spilled material carefully to minimize dust generation. Place in suitable containers for disposal. Wash spill site with plenty of water after material pickup is complete
Handling: Use local exhaust in areas where dust can be generated. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using this product. Always wear appropriate PPE. Seal containers tightly after use
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from incompatible substances, such as strong acids. Avoid moisture ingress, product may absorb water and cake into lumps. Keep containers labeled and upright.
Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established for this substance
Engineering Controls: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne levels below nuisance dust limits
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use safety goggles to prevent eye contact, wear chemical-resistant gloves, employ a dust mask or respirator (NIOSH-approved P95 or better) if dust is generated, laboratory coat or work apron is recommended
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
